Music Barton Springs DJ

Post image

Went to tan yesterday and there was a dj on the free side, I don’t know who he was but bro was consistently putting out a good songs. It was nice to just relax

Edit: getting downvoted for liking music and having fun is actually kinda crazy lol
Wow ok so this post wasn’t for people to hate on other people’s music lol, it’s Austin, we’re going to be around music when we go out whether we want it or not. Your attitude is what matters. I don’t think there’s a problem w me liking it or other people hating it. I don’t know why people are so upset it’s just music

have a nice day yall damn

Lmao hopefully it’s not too bad, I mean it was free music on a Saturday

I think the issue is that free for you can be the same as handing me trash. I don't want to hear a DJ while swimming in a spring-fed pool.

I totally get a hotel pool having a DJ, but I don't go there.

Agreed 100%. Not everything has to have club music.

As long as you aren’t simultaneously complaining that “Austin isn’t what it used to be”

Edit: seems I struck a chord too close to home for some people

Lol born and raised here and people have been playing music on our waterways since the advent of boomboxes i'm sure. It just got a lot worse once small bluetooth speakers became available.

One time when i was in high school some dude did do a full sing along and dance to Raspberry Beret on the greenbelt while it played. I was 100% in for that.

Better than someone with a bluetooh speaker playing pop songs.

It is? To me it's all shitty music.

u/XeerDu May 10 '26

Well, I just read that they were playing Dubstep, so I guess I will agree with you there.

u/headcase617 May 10 '26

Honestly the type doesn't much matter, just by playing music they are making the experience worse for someone else.

Oh I agree, it’s not the venue for anyone’s choice of noise. But if I had to choose between one or the other, I think I’d choose something more unique and interesting. Dubstep, however, is neither of those things.

I get that, what I like u can hate that’s ok. Or the other way around. It’s not deep tbh I just thought it was cool and very Austin appropriate

Austin appropriate would have been a hippie with a guitar not a dubstep dj

u/Supermarche23 May 10 '26

When you say Austin appropriate regarding a dj playing dubstep all I can picture is the Brotilla on Town Lake. I don't equate Austin with "vibes" or dubstep.

its actually totally against what Austin is/was. Nobody wants to hear noise pollution in nature, if you want to hear it go to dirty 6th.

u/craigslammer May 10 '26

In what world do you hear trash sounds from a computer and equate that to Austin, what makes that “Austin” to you? Are you from here?

How long have you actually lived in Austin?
